Direct your Spanish students’ excitement about winter break with this Digital Escape Room about how Christmas is celebrated in Spanish-speaking countries! Your students will LOVE this FUN challenge!  They will work in groups to solve “clues” (which are actually content related learning + questions) and figure out how to unlock the digital  locks to gain access to the next clue!  All the while they will learn about why Christmas is important in Spanish-speaking countries and what some popular traditions are.  They will end their challenge by making some cultural comparisons.

This FUN Escape Room Challenge is suitable for Spanish students in grades 7-12!  The learning and questions are written in English, though there is a video in Spanish with English subtitles and a vocab puzzle which will require students to match Spanish terms related to Christmas with their English translations.  (Students will learn these words through their reading/viewing during the challenge.) There are teacher instructions and hints/explanations about how to solve the puzzles in case your students need some help. I have updated some parts to have easier versions for middle school students!

This digital escape room uses a Google Form™, a Google Slide™ and and Google Docs™.  Parts of the “clues” can be printed if you choose, but the locks must be “opened” virtually via Google Forms™.  

Who can use this product?

• Spanish students in grades 7-12

How can I use this product?

• Divide your students into groups of 3 or 4
• Assign this Escape Room to each student
• Explain what their task is: to help Abuela find the missing figurines for the roscón!

Are your students ready for invierno?  Have some fun with these Spanish activities for Writing, Speaking and Listening! Use the winter season to your advantage as students practice their interpretive and interpersonal skills as they talk about winter where they live and learn about winter activities in other parts of the world!

What’s included?

#1

Authentic listening activities for Spanish class can be so hard to find!  We want our students to practice their listening skills but we don’t want to spend an hour searching for a good video!  This YouTube video is about winter in Chile.  A young person takes us around his city and explains what winter is like there.  To check comprehension, students will answer questions as they watch. Students will make comparisons and discover similarities and differences between their own experience and the speaker’s experience in Chile.   An answer key is also included!

#2

These Spanish Task Cards are geared towards winter activities, vacations and winter holidays. Situation Task Cards are a great way to get your Spanish 1, 2, 3 and 4 students talking and using language creatively!  (These are generic enough to be used with any curriculum!)  

There are 20 different scenarios which give students an idea of what to talk about in a story that they make up. The task cards come in 3 versions!  First I have a large scale digital version that can be displayed for the class.  The other version is printable (4 cards per page) and comes in both black and white and an attractive color version. Slides come with helpful vocab that students may need to discuss the scenario.

These winter-themed task cards feature scenarios for present, past and future time frames.  Google Slides can be modified if you need to change something to meet your students’ needs!

Also included is a peer feedback sheet and a self-assessment sheet and a vocab list for both Winter Vocab and Christmas Vocab!  

#3

These Winter Writing Prompts for Spanish classes solve a number of your challenges! Your students can work together in groups to write about Christmas and Winter Vacation, and it turns into a fun competition where everyone learns!  AND- you only correct ONE paper per group!!  Students help each other improve their writing as they try to increase creativity, detail, sophistication and accuracy, all while having fun!  These writing prompts can also be used individually.   Embed culture and traditions into your writing practice!  There are 3 prompts for Novice High level students and 3 for Intermediate Low students.  Scaffolds such as vocab lists, sophistication word charts and a graphic organizer are all included!
